<p>The closure of the lay-bys on the A1 is part of a planned scheme to improve drainage
and resurface the carriageway between Newark and Stamford, which is being carried
out in stages. The first stage of this work, between Newark and Grantham, was carried
out from 4 to 22 September and is now complete. The scheme is due to be completed
by February 2018. As the scheme(s) along the A1 progresses there is potential for
other lay-by closures and where possible these will be advertised in advance.</p><p>
</p><p>This work is generally carried out overnight, with the carriageway being closed
from 8pm to 6am. In order to ensure that the scheduled works are carried out uninterrupted,
lay-bys are fully closed for the duration of the works. This closure is to prevent
vehicles, primarily HGV’s, from parking for long periods and being unable to leave
the lay-by when the road is closed without disrupting the works.</p>
